I just received my m3 spoiler from Xenonspecialists and installed it today. I think I might have put it a little too far forward but overall I'm happy with the results.

I know the pictures kind of suck but I thought I'd share them anyways.

looks great.

How long did it take you to get it?

gecko23

I ordered it saturday night, and was told it shipped on tuesday morning and received today at about 1:00.

PACman

That's great turn around time. There were some members here that were waiting for weeks.

juicygirljen

looking good buddy! i got mine from there too!

helraiser

ditto... really nice touch it added to mine. fast shipping too even to canada.

Are these the guys from eBay?

ruffellprefley

i ordered mine last night from xenonspecialist (yes, they are on ebay). i just need to get a dang dent out of my trunk before i put it on there.

how far to the back of the trunk *should* the lip spoiler go? i think your placement looks pretty good, gecko

Does your trunk lid pop up anymore after you've installed this?

yea i got mine from him also.. only took like two days to get it.. only problem i have it seems to be a little long for the trunk...

Looks sharp. The lip spoiler is the one backside accoutrement I can tolerate on the TSX.

Understated is always better on sedans, IMO.

Been watching 40 Year Old Virgin eh?

looks good I'm actually waiting for mine to come in now too...How long did you have to wait from when you purchased it, I've been waiting close to 7 days now.

spyguyTSX

i have one too, i love it, color matches perfectly for my nighthawk black (even has blue sparkles in it!!).
anyways, the trunk does pop a little less when i use the remote, but it still pops up.
i've heard people say with the other lip spoilers (usually bigger ones), that it doesn't pop up anymore.

I've had mine for approximatley a year now, and still get compliments from fellow TSX owners asking me, "is that a dealer option spoiler?"

Alin10123

yea, i think with the OEM spoiler (the big one, not the lip one), it will come with upgraded hardware for your trunk popping setup. This way your trunk will end up popping up at the same rate. I'm pretty sure... someone correct me if i'm wrong. I recall reading this somewhere on here and someone was asking wether or not to install the new hardware.

helraiser

It pops but just barely. It's nice tho in case you accidentally hit the trunk button while keys are on your pocket or wherever. This way can't tell if youre trunk's open or not unless you walk up beside it.

Howard911s

i got mine from him 1 year ago, still new and shiny! good buy!

SimpleWhite

just put mine on to, although my color didn't match exactly, it was a little off. I really just think its my car. Time to clay her up I think!

cmschmie

I never thought about doing this...until I saw the pics. It looks pretty damn sweet!! And you can't beat $70 (just saw it on Ebay)
I see that you have CGP, does it match color very well?
Does it install pretty easy? Anyone have any problems with the adhesive not working very well?

Just a few questions to reduce anxiety of it not working out well, then screwing up my paint with the adhesive.

Thanks

I don't see it? what spoiler? j/k I think its worth 70bones..

gecko23

yeah, you can't beat the price.

Here are some better pictures I took today after washing my car.

ruffellprefley

nice shots of the lip. how much further back do you think it should go? you mentioned in your first post that you thought you put it a little too far forward. how far back did the rest of you that have the m3 lip from xenonspecialist put it? i should be getting mine this coming week.

ComptechTSX

thanks for posting more pics..the lip looks great. isn't as bulky as i thought it was. looks almost as flush as the m3 replica spoiler

gecko23

Now that I think about it, I really like where it is now. At first from the looks of other peoples pictures, I thought I had it too far forward. But in order to make the space between the spoiler and the end of the trunk even, you have to bring it a little forward or you will have the middle of the spoiler with little gap at the end of the trunk and the ends of the spoiler with a bigger gap. It's to each it's own though, I think it looks great either way.

ruffellprefley

i definitely think yours looks great. i guess i'll just have to play around with it in different spots when i get mine before i stick it down for good.

I've had my lip for almost two weeks but haven't installed it yet. I'm a bit intimidated about lining everything up, etc. Are there some install tips you all would like to share ??

Knox

Get some painters tape or any kind of tape that won't harm your paint. Lay the spoiler on the trunk lid and line it up as you want it. Then, place the tape at each end of the spoiler so you have guides of where it needs to be between when you go to attach it. You can also place a piece of tape in front of it and even behind it so you know how far forward or backward you want the spoiler to lie.

gecko23

It's easier if you have someone to help you as well.

JayRoam

I pretty much did the same thing. A friend to help so that there's one person holding the wing, and one person lining it up and eyeballing it, definitely helps. My girlfriend helped me with mine. Pretty easy.

Also, I think mine is a little farther back then the pics I see above. I think that was the most difficult part since if you put it too far back, it kind of hangs over the curve of the trunk. Here's a pic

Knox

Stop it! I'm going to have to order one now.

EuRTSX

Do it! Order one!

Knox

It's either this or a Spoon spoiler. If the Spoon was cheaper, there wouldn't be a decision.

JayRoam

actually here's a pic with a better camera

Hey guys, i've been talking with Morris at Boomplustoys and he said he can get OEM (europe) colormatched "ducktail" spoilers for our TSX. the price he quoted was (gasp!) $449 + $25 ship. is anyone interested in a group buy?

Knox

The Spoon one is similar for about $100 cheaper. If you can get the ducktail one down lower than that, you could count me in.

feelgood13

that's the whole idea of a group buy.. is anyone else interested? do you have a link of what the spoon one looks like?
